Here I my stats:
Relative lenghts, starting from the floor:
floor: 0 cm
ankle: 7 cm
knee: 42 cm
hip bone: 87 cm
shoulders: 130 cm
below the chin: 135 cm
top head / total height: 156 cm
Absolute lenghts:
head length: 156 cm
neck length: 5 cm
torso (hip bone to shoulder): 48 cm
femur (knee to hip bone): 40 cm
tibias (ankle to knee): 35 cm
foot (floor to ankle): 7 cm
inseam point to hip bone difference: 15 cm [(floor to femur) minus (inseam)]
inseam - 67 cm
wing span - 164 cm
sitting height - 84 cm
weight - 63 kg
strong/athletic physique, almost overweight for BMI, cuz of muscles, not skinny, can stretch very well
Notes on ratios and proportions:
max height, before looking weird (rule of thumb) = wing span + 10 cm = ape index of plus 10
average Sitting Height Ratio (SHR) = sitting height/height: 48-52%
average (inseam/height) = 45%
average tibia/femur = 80%
Current ratios before LL:
ape index = minus 8 cm
SHR = 53.85%
inseam/height = 42.95%
tibia/femur = 87.5%
When my arms hang, my inseam point is at half of my palm length
The plan is to go from 156 cm to 172 cm, starting after 3.5 years from now with 10 cm on femur,
and 3 years later with 6 cm on tibias. Since my femurs got loads of muscle mass, and they are shorter than they should in terms of proportions to tibias.
(This would also fix my bow legs simultanously. In my initial mail I got the reply that is no problem to achieve.)
I will go with Dr. Betz, cuz I live in germany, and he gives the patient what he wants, and I trust my body to withstand it without problems.
Ratios and proportions after two LL procedures:
height 156 cm > 172 cm (+16)
femur 40 cm -> 50 cm (+10)
tibias 35 cm -> 41 cm (+6)
wing span 164 cm
inseam 67 cm -> 83 cm
ape index from minus 8 cm -> plus 8 cm, good thing my arms hang low enough to look good anyway
SHR = 53.85% -> 48.8%
inseam/height = 42.95% -> 48.26%
tibia/femur = 87.5% -> 82.0%
Haven't had the appointment with Betz yet. It's planned for autumn.
